The name for the region is obsolete; today, it is only used to distinguish Fribourg (German: Freiburg im Üechtland) from Freiburg (or Freiburg im Breisgau) in Germany. However, old documents also mention Bern im Üechtland or Verona im Üechtland, by which Verona, as a Latinised name for Bern, is distinguished from Verona in Italy (known in German historically as Bern, and sometimes as Wälsch-Bern).
